Ride along with comedy legend Buster Keaton as he travels across the Canadian wilderness by railcar in the slapstick travelogue “The Railrodder” (1965), produced by the National Film Board of Canada, followed by “Buster Keaton Rides Again”, a fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the film that shows Keaton’s creative process at work, singing songs and telling stories from his decades in show business. Both presented on 16mm prints from the Pratt film collection.
